Drier air will filter into the region today resulting in very low humidity levels across northern and eastern portions of our region. This will lead to elevated fire weather danger this afternoon as relative humidity values drop as low as 15 to 20 percent.

The Perryville Fire Department recently conducted training focused on downed firefighter and Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) operations. This training is an important part of preparing our firefighters to respond when one of our own becomes lost, trapped, injured, or otherwise unable to exit a structure.

RIT operations require teamwork, communication, discipline, and a strong understanding of firefighter rescue techniques. Crews trained on locating a downed firefighter, assessing the situation, making contact with the firefighter, managing their SCBA and air supply, and removing them from a hazardous environment.

Training for these situations allows our members to become more confident and prepared to operate under the intense conditions that can accompany a firefighter emergency. It also reinforces the importance of accountability, radio communication, crew integrity, and maintaining a dedicated team ready to respond when a firefighter needs help.
